What personally identifiable information does Roadfly.org collect from me?

Roadfly.org collects information in several ways from different parts of our web site.

Some personal information is gathered when you register. During registration, Roadfly.org asks for your name and e-mail address, among other personal information. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customize your experience. Once you register, you are no longer anonymous to Roadfly.org--you are given a Roadfly.org ID number and User Name and are able to take full advantage of Roadfly.org's many offerings.

In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information at other times; for example when you enter a sweepstakes, contest or promotion sponsored by Roadfly.org; when you make a purchase from the Roadfly.org store; when you post a Roadfly.org classified ad.; when you submit a listing for a web site; and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact Roadfly.org, we may keep a record of that correspondence. Wherever Roadfly.org collects personal information, an effort is made to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Through the use of cookies Roadfly.org can track and store information about your use of our web site; thus allowing us to customize and tailor certain services to you. Any Roadfly.org site that requires you to log-in or a site that is customizable requires that your computer accepts cookies.

Generally, Roadfly.org uses cookies to:

(1) Remind us of who you are and to access your Roadfly.org account information (stored on our computers). Upon "Sign In", the cookie is set and is modified upon "Sign Out". Roadfly.org also uses cookies to store your zip code for other services, such as Yellow Pages and Classifieds.

(2) Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing Roadfly.org is given a unique cookie, which is used to determine the extent of repeat usage by a registered user and to track advertising based on user interests and behavior.

(3) Assist Roadfly.org's store to track visits and to process any items in your shopping basket. The information collected by cookies may also provide information to us regarding which pages you have been viewing in our store.

(4) Track entries and submissions to promotions, sweepstakes and contests. When a Roadfly.org-hosted promotion or contest uses cookies, the information written to the cookie indicates a contestant's status through the event.

(5) Measure traffic patterns regarding Roadfly.org's network of web sites--i.e. where you have visited and your visiting patterns in the aggregate. We use this research to understand our users' habits so that we may improve the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.

(6) Advertising networks that serve ads on Roadfly.org may also use their own cookies to to track trends in a similar matter.

Roadfly.org's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with a customized experience on our network of sites. This experience may include such services as interactive communications and online shopping to name a few (most of these services are completely free to you). In order to provide services free of charge, we display advertisements. By knowing a little about you, Roadfly.org can deliver more relevant advertisements and content and better serve you.

When you are on a Roadfly.org site and are asked to enter personal information, you are sharing that information with Roadfly.org alone, unless otherwise stated. If you wish for your data to remain private, you can choose not to allow data transfer by not using that particular service.

As a general rule, Roadfly.org will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information without your consent.

Details of shared use can be found in specific Terms of Service or Use Agreements and sweepstakes and promotions rules. Some or all data collected during a Roadfly.org promotion may be shared with the sponsor of that particular promotion. Again, notification of discloure will be provided to you prior to any transfer of data.

Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors By requesting more information, you give Roadfly.org permission to transfer your personal information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your e-mail address will be shared. If more information is to be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.

Roadfly.org Stores & Shopping: If you make a purchase from a store hosted by Roadfly.org Stores or a merchant in Roadfly.org Shopping, the information obtained during your visit to those stores and the information you give, such as your credit card number and contact information, is provided to the merchants. This is to enable your purchase transactions to take place.

Merchants listed in Roadfly.org Shopping or in Roadfly.org Stores have separate privacy and data collection practices.

Roadfly.org may disclose user information when we believe, in good faith, that the law requires it.

We also suggest that you sign out of your Roadfly.org account and close your browser window when you are done with your visit. This practice will ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence should you be using a computer in a shared environment.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While every measure is taken to protect your personal information, Roadfly.org cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services. You transmit information at your own risk. As specified above, security protection is of utmost importance to Roadfly.org, and we put our best efforts forward to maintain security on our systems.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, whether it be on a message board or through an e-mail, that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online, it is accessible to the public, and you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Again, we suggest maintaining the secrecy of your password and exercising caution whenever you are online.

Questions regarding this statement should be directed to privacypolicy@roadfly.org. If you do not receive acknowledgement from Roadfly.org or if your inquiry has not been satisfactorily addressed, you should contact TRUSTe.
